Ok, so because I miss-worded the title (it should have read “Firct Choice plane in Precautionary Diversion”) I will never actually get a serious answer?

No.. disagree on that too.. 😉

so nothing that evenly remotely confirms that it was an emergency yet…. :rolleyes:

The fire service all go out to the runway with their lights on. They all split apart at different lengths down the runway, holding 50m or so away. 10 minutes later, an unexpected FCA 767 approaches. As soon as it passes the fire engines, they chase it down the length of the runway. Then follow it up the taxiway, and to the stand. They then remain there for approx 10 minutes, before finally driving back to the station.

Ryanair are currently offering LBA-DUB-LBA for £16.73…. how could I resist!

Have booked up for a day in DUB on the 19th of July, and also on the 5th of September! I’m sorry but two days in Dublin for £32 was an offer I couldnt refuse!

Anyone fancy another day in DUB? ;).

I’m afraid Tom that I’m still at school on the 19th July, and then I go back on the 5th September! Otherwise I would have joined you on one of the days.

I just booked a mini day-trip. Stansted-Oslo Torp-Stansted on the 15th June (just over 2 weeks time!). Cost a grand total of £16.83 return including taxes, crazy! I’m only there for 4 or 5 hours, but it means I get to spend 2 hours in a plane each way (30,000ft being my favourite place in the World). Torp also gets a few movements in the form of Wideroe and some Scandi charter airlines.

That’s gonna be one hell of a busy week. Shannon, Rome and Torp!

Sorry if i’m saying anything I shouldn’t be here! (Have heard about this from a couple of forum members, not sure if it’s going into the public domain!)

I’m looking to get booked up for LHR on the 18th August in the next couple of days, flying down on BA from MAN arriving 11:00, and departing back up to LBA with bmi at 20:45.

Is this an official meet or not?

I’ll probably end up at AMS on the 30th also, Jet2 from LBA for £59 should be do able for me :).

The 18th may be a bit too difficult in my schedule. I have lots of flights around August, including 3 days in Majorca, 3 days in Denmark, and then 5 days at Reading festival. I also have lots of extra part-time work hours, and will need to see my girlfriend that week when she’s home from her holiday! I’ll see how it pans out nearer the time. I definitely want an excuse to get to LHR soon, and it’s only an hours drive for me, so I’ll see what happens.

Cheers for the sticky Lance, very useful!

Ok Tom, will be good to have you there. Especially with a car 🙂

Ok, I have to go out soon and so have booked myself up. So that’s it, I am confirmed and shall be attending.

If it turns out that no-one with a car does get there on the day (unlikely, I know) then is is easy for me to get on a bus South Side, taking into account my flight times?

Ok, it seems like some good interest. But no-one has definitely confirmed that they’re coming yet. Where are you…?

Also, does Bmi Regional still get inflight service from MAN-LHR?
